Wedding Thank-You cards

When writing thank-you notes, it’s a good idea to avoid the generic notes and personalise each thank-you card. After all your guests have probably been to a ton of weddings and have received the same generic ‘Thank-you for your lovely gift’ phrase time and time again. The tone of the thank-you note and level of formality differs depending on the relationship to the guest.

Family and close friends

I look forward to telling you all about the honeymoon and married life.
With love
